I’m an old redditor that left the platform for Lemmy.

I have been using Sync and using lemm.ee.

I have heard so much about activity pub and simply don’t understand how to use it. Do you use a browser to visit another website that is like a Lemmy instance? Is there an Android app that connects a bunch of instances like pixelated and Lemmy instances together? Or is Sync able to do all this but there is a setting I need to do.

Can someone please help shed some light to this? Thank you.

    That is a fantastic explanation. You mentioned that I need one Activity Pub account. Who actually provides it? Right now I have accounts in lemm.ee and I think another instance. Is there a different account I need to setup? Thank you.

      Your lemm.ee account would be considered an ActivityPub account. However at this point, due to multiple factors such as instance blocking and the fact that we are still in the infancy of ActivityPub services, you probably will still need to have multiple accounts across different ActivityPub programs.
